Here's an article from 1999 outlining the phonics approaches, one of which is still championed today in some circles.
From the article, establish what 'phonics' is and how approaches differ. Look up what 'sic' means if you are not sure. Does the article seem pro- or anti-phonics?
Do some research into what opponents of a pure synthetic phonics approach say (and add to your notes about phonics) about how children learn to read.
Post your understanding of what phonics is, its advantages, and the alternatives with a bibliography and some recommended links. Try and get an impression of what the most up-to-date thinking is.
